Getting frustrated...

[silver_pilate]

I've edited this post as the original topic isn't valid anymore. I was waiting on an order from Darren Ellis, posted about my impatience, and got an email not 5 minutes later that the order should ship tomorrow!

The order was for an 8HT forge along with some satanite and vermiculite, btw.

Darren and Kathryn are busy folks, and they run a small family business on top of everything else they do. They have a great deal of items that are hard to find at other knife supply stops. I'm just impatient, and I know that they can be slow to get things out at time. I just had to get it off my chest. It's been like waiting for Christmas since I placed the order.

Dont know what to tell you other than Darren is a great guy and has always been really helpful. He's not stealing your money or anything, but he does get busy

I ordered a regulator assembly from Ellis on the 5th of this month and got it the 18th. It's missing the POL fitting, unfortunately. I'm awaiting a response, but the auto-response to my email indicated they are busy.

Thanks for the responses. I know they're good folks. In fact, I just got an email from Kathryn saying that it should be ready to ship out tomorrow!! YAY!!! I was never worried about getting ripped off or anything like that, just venting my impatience is all.

I don't know what it costs to ship vermiculite but it takes up a lot of space and should be commonly available at home depot or any self respecting plant shop, chinamart etc.

Does anybody else think satanite smells like butter toffee popcorn?
